The Role of Legume Crops in Improving the Ecological State of the Soil

In this article is considered the role of legumes in improving the ecological state of the soil and the problem of developing energy-efficient, inexpensive, biologically and environmentally clean production technologies for crop production. The use of valuable chemical fertilizers and pesticides in order to obtain high yields from crops increases the pollution of the environment, ie soil, air and groundwater, the products contain nitrates, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, residues harmful to human health.

Application of RFID Technology in Olusegun Oke Library, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso: Challenges and Future Prospects

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) offers tracking capability to locate equipment, supplies and people in real time, and provides efficient and accurate access to library transactions such as book search, security, inventory, borrowing and book return. The paper studied many aspects of the RFID application such as budgeting, purchase process, advantages and limitation of RFID technology, documentation and financial implication, challenges faced in initial stage and remedies. A structured questionnaire using descriptive survey method was designed to collect data. The study employed the method of quantitative research to gather an in-depth understanding of the nature of usage of RFID system among users of Olusegun Oke Library. The findings of the study revealed that RFID is functional and useful in such areas as speedy circulation, easy book identification, security of library materials and other value added services while the major problem to implementation include technological limitations, interference concerns, prohibitive costs and lack of global standards. The study concluded that orientation programme for all users for the RFID enabled is very much important.

The Effects of Situational Teaching on Preschool Children’s Originality Development

Preschool education is a critical stage in a child's life. Several studies have confirmed that the pivotal moment for the development of creativity is between the ages of three and five. Through cultivation, training, and learning development ability, preschool children's creativity can be amplified through the presence of nature and the imagination of instructional strategies. The purpose of this research is to look into the effect of situational learning in physical education on preschool children's creativity. This study's methodology begins with a pre-test of the child's creativity performance, followed by a six-week program of situational physical learning lessons. The data is compared to show how children's learning abilities have changed and how effective situational learning training has been in increasing creativity.

Theoretical and Methodological Significance of Television Education

In 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 virus from Wuhan, China, forced the introduction of new areas of education in the international arena. From this time onwards, education through TV courses became more relevant. However, the roots of tele-education go back more than half a century. The evolution of television education is also seen as the best way to increase the literacy of the country's population. The classification and development trends of educational TV programs also play an important role in this. The article analyzes the specifics of television educational programs.

Evaluating the Impact of (WASH) Program on Education in the New Juaben North Municipal of Ghana: Evidence from SDA College Demonstration Basic Schools

The study assessed the causes of inefficiencies in the WASH programme at the Demonstration Basic Schools in the New Juaben North Municipal Assembly; examined the effects of the inefficiencies on the learners at the schools, and suggested appropriate strategies to improve the WASH programme. The researcher employed a qualitative approach to achieve these objectives. The population included headteachers, teachers and learners for the study. The study used purposive sampling technique to select 8 participants. This comprised three head teachers, two teachers and three learners from the school. The findings of the study showed that challenges that confront the WASH programme at the schools were inadequate water supply, poor sanitation and hygiene systems, lack of adequate handwashing points, unclean and not properly maintained toilets, lack of quality toilet facilities, lack of menstrual hygiene management (MHM), inadequate sanitary materials, and unhygienic toilet conditions. It is recommended that the government and authorities should improve the WASH system in the school. Moreover, adequate WASH facilities should be provided considering the various guidelines for WASH to ensure that facilities are adequate, sufficient, accessible, and safe for use by learners. Also, the Ghana Education Service should infuse sanitation education into the new or existing curriculum.

Agroecology and Sustainable Development in Africa

The term agroecology is not new, since it first appeared in scientific literature in the 1930s. In recent years, it seems to have enjoyed increasing success. It constitutes a new sustainable path for rural development and adaptation to climate change. This study will allow us to assess the impacts of this mode of production and agroecological production techniques.

Unexplored Potential in Online In-Service Teacher Professional Development towards Teaching with Technology: Teacher Perceptions, Challenges and Spill-Over Effects in Kenya

Online courses can provide a worthwhile alternative to on-site Teacher Professional Development (TPD) especially in developing countries such as Kenya. This study was based on a training intervention which helped teachers to cope with the sudden turn of events that came after the government closed schools as one of the COVID-19 containment measures. A private university in Kenya designed and launched an online in-service course to respond to the needs of teachers amidst the pandemic. The university’s Teacher Enhancement Programme (TEP) realized that the training proved to be a game changer for the group of teachers who participated. The online training intervention enabled the teachers to get in touch with learners who were otherwise inaccessible. This study is a descriptive survey with both quantitative and qualitative data from a post survey questionnaire and a focused group discussion. The outcomes of the study indicated that online teacher enhancement programmes are an uncharted potential option for TPD even though there were challenges. The training intervention boosted teacher confidence in using technology to teach, and encouraged them to venture and discover more technology-based teaching tools on their own. The training intervention also led to improved teacher performance in the employment of emergency remote teaching within their learning institutions.

Family Motif in the Epic “Bahrom and Gulandom”

The present paper is about the noble views of our national values, including family, child rearing and respect for ancestors reflected in Uzbek folk epics. Each folk epic - whether it is gallant, romantic or historical in nature, to a certain degree imaginatively communicates the nation’s views on great and fiendish, man and nature, family and society, love and commitment, life and death. The peoples of the world started to completely understand this truth within the period when their heroic epics were being created and shaped, and expressed it artistically in their epics. Afterward, when the states developed and the issue of statehood was resolved, the idea of the family, which was of break even with significance to the solidarity of the people, got to be the staged stage of the historical-folklore process after the heroic epics.

Unstable Indicators of Temperature and Humidity in Large-Scale Special Worm Rearing Houses and the Negative Consequences of Feeding Worms in Them

This article reveals the information on rearing houses for silkworms. It has been observed that the larger the size of silkworm rearing houses, the more difficult it is to maintain a comfortable temperature, relative humidity and other environmental factors, and as a result, the development of silkworms, cocoon spinning processes vary, and the process implementation of agro-technical measures is disrupted. As consequently, scientifically based data show that the viability of industrial cocoons was 14.5-24.5%, and the duration of the larval period was 2-8 days.
